VGF @ 7 months 1 Bedroom-Chances?

[DiSnEyLvR76]

Hello All!
We are getting married at Disneys Wedding Pavilion & GF on 10/4! I am praying we can get a 1 bedroom at VGF for check in 9/30/14 @ 7 months! It'll be so convenient to just walk downstairs after getting ready and we will be there!
What do you think my odds are?
TIA!

Unknown, all you can do is wait and see.

Congrats! If you can't get in, you can rent your points and use the proceeds to pay for a room at GF. Enjoy!!

I just booked for the beginning of September at the 7 mo window and a 1 bedroom was available.

I managed to get a 1 bedroom for July 4th week. Summer is certainly not as busy for DVC as October, but you would think a lot of people would want the 4th. At any rate, I was able to snag it at the 7 month mark.

Presumably you should have much better luck with a 1BR than with a studio.

Talk to your wedding cooridinator. They've been known to have some magical powers

IMO if you call in first thing on the 7th month window you will have good chance, the only thing is you are competing with Food & Wine at that time.

You may also want to consider a 2 bedroom for a few points more. Looks like the difference between a 1 bedroom Lake View and a 2 bedroom Standard View is 6 points per night.

Good news is right now from the Sept 30th - Oct 5th there is availability in both the Standard and Lake View 1 bedroom, and the 2 bedroom Standard and Lake Views. Of course the 2 Bedroom Lock offs have the weekend already booked.

Wishing you luck.

You may want to rent a members points for GF, if you can find them(they are there) . You can then rent out your points to cover the costs.

Good luck!

Good luck! I hope you get your request.

I'm sooo hoping for a 2 bedroom, any view, for September 20-28 so will also be calling this month.

For those that know can you tell me if I can do online. I have a 2 bedroom already booked at SSR for those dates and since I want to take those points and the remainder of my points do I need to call or can all this be done online.

Thanks.

You can cancel your SSR online and then book using those points online. If the room goes away while you are canceling and SSR is all booked up you might lose both but I don't think that is at all likely at the 7 month window (VGF might not be available but SSR should have availability).

I could have booked 8 nights in early Aug in a 1BR at 7 months but opted for BLT instead for 2 bathrooms.

Goodluck!!!
